A remarkable documentary novel that has deservedly achieved worldwide popularity. It explores how politics intrudes into personal life and the inescapable thirst for freedom. This true story, filled with striking detail, offers an inside look at life in a pariah state. Azar Nafisi, the American-educated daughter of Tehran's former mayor, returns to her homeland to teach foreign literature to Iranian students. The Islamic Revolution disrupts all plans, and classes devolve into secret meetings. While law enforcement raids across the country, fundamentalists seize universities, and censorship stifles the arts, the young women visiting Nafisi fearlessly remove their hijabs and immerse themselves in the worlds of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Vladimir Nabokov. The "shaky unreality" of events transforms into a magical celebration of literary love.
